American Handgunner, for starters.![]()

+1
American Handgunner is all I read anymore, it's not perfect but less BS than most.
I will echo SatCong and Dolphin on American Handgunner and also recommend Combat Handguns.
God bless our troops!
ShotgunNews for me. I get the special annuals from most of the well known publishers off the local new stand when I see something that catches my eye. Other than that, American Rifleman is always a good read and to keep up on local events.
+1 on Combat Handguns, also Concealed Carry Magazine.
IMO, Combat Handguns is the best read.
Training means learning the rules. Experience means learning the exceptions.
I love "Combat Handguns"![]()

Another vote for Combat Handguns.
I also enjoy SWAT.
Combat handguns is great, I used to buy in the supermarket and make sure it lay on top, love watching the sheep squirm, although had a few guys say "cool" now get it in the mail to save money.
Surplus Firearms is wonderful, I love the spread on old firearms.
Shotgun news is good bang for the buck, although I am sure lots of duck hunters wonder way they almost always have an AR on the cover!!
+1 on SWAT. You don't have to be an Operator to learn TONS from the articles. One of the few mags that actually has articles on Mindset.
You have to make the shot when fire is smoking, people are screaming, dogs are barking, kids are crying and sirens are coming.

I enjoy American Handgunner and Combat Handguns, and Surefire's Combat Tactics (only published ocassionally). I also like Concealed Carry Magazine - available online as well.
